I am sooooo confused!! I crocheted rounds 1-28 and fasted off. Then it says Round 14 back – Do I do rounds 1-13 again and then round 14 – 28 for the back and right shoulder? Then there is round 26 for the left shoulder – where is this crocheted? Then round 14 (left front) where is this started from?
Please email me at dl663@aol.com.
Thanks for your help.

I am very confused
I’m pretty new to crocheting still and I want to make this so bad for my nephew.. I did Rnds 1-28, fastened off .. I have no idea what to do next 
I’m not even sure if I did it right.. If you could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
February 23, 2013 at 6:06 pm
I will try…..I’m guessing that you are starting on the back:
Rnd. 14: (Back) following color scheme of Right Front, skip next 5 sc, attach yarn in next sc, ch 1, dec sc over first 2 sc, sc in next 16 sc, dec sc over next 2 sc, ch 1, turn. 18 sc
With this….go back to rnd. 13….. count 5 stitches from where you left off (this will make the armhole), attach yarn in the next sc, make a ch1, then work a decrease (work 2 sc into one), then sc in next 16 sc, then work another decrease, ch 1 and turn.
Follow the rest of the directions for the back……
This is done this way, so it can be made in one piece…..
Please feel free to email me at cobblerscabin@gmail.com if you have any other questions or need a little more clarification.

Rnds. 15-25: following color scheme of Right Front, repeat rnd. 6. 18 sc
